Instructions to Authors
Submissions
Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses is now operating online submission of your manuscripts via ScholarOne Manuscripts at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/irv. Support for online submission is available at http://blackwellsupport.custhelp.com or by e-mail to manuscriptcentral@oxon.blackwellpublishing.co.uk. Please contact Fotini Toso if you have any queries concerning the submission of your paper.
Manuscripts should have: a wide margin, double spacing, and numbered pages beginning with the title page. The title of the paper, name and address of each author, and the name of the institution where the work has been carried out should appear on the title page, as should the name and full postal address (with phone/fax numbers and e-mail) of the corresponding author only. The corresponding author is responsible For reading the proofs and communicating with the other authors, and informing the Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses editorial office of any change in details until the paper is published.
Blackwell Publishing reserves the right to contact another author if the corresponding author is not available to check proofs. Authors may use UK or American English and syntax but consistency must be maintained within the paper. The Editor reserves the right to make corrections, both literary and technical, to the papers.
Authors of all manuscripts are required to license copyright in their paper to Blackwell Publishing. Copyright licensing is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been licensed. Submissions should therefore be accompanied with a completed Copyright Transfer Agreement or Online Open Form.
OnlineOpen is a pay-to-publish service from Blackwell that offers authors whose papers are accepted for publication the opportunity to pay up-front for their manuscript to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Blackwell Synergy website. Each OnlineOpen article will be subject to a one-off fee of £1300 (equivalent to $2600) to be met by or on behalf of the Author in advance of publication. Upon online publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) will be available to all for viewing and download free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as OnlineOpen and will draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded for free via the Blackwell Synergy service. If you wish your paper to be OnlineOpen you are required to complete the combined payment and copyright licence form (instead of a Copyright Transfer Agreement form).
Papers are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere.
What to submit
It is recommended that text files are submitted in Word format, figures in TIFF or EPS, although worksheets in Excel, Powerpoint figures can be used. RRF and PDF originals are not recommended due to potential conversion errors in the system. Please note that if the program extension is not present in the filename, it must be added by the author before uploading the file: e.g. filename: Antithrombin should be renamed Antithrombin.doc; Figure1 should be renamed Figure1.eps or Figure1.tiff, etc. Without the extension, the files cannot be recognized by the system and therefore may not convert properly: this will cause delays in reviewing the material. Authors must state either on the cover page of the manuscript (under the title and affiliation), or in the covering letter to the editor, the word count of the abstract (which must not exceed 250 words) and the word count of the text (not exceeding 5000 words) separately.
NEW: Pre-submission English-language editing
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Types of Articles
Review Articles
Review articles, which must undergo peer review, will generally be solicited, but unsolicited reviews on timely subjects will be considered. Review articles should be 4,000 words or less with selected references, and no more than three authors.
Original Articles
Should not exceed 5,000 words (including tables, figures, and references). Contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship can be listed in 'Acknowledgements'.
Letters to the Editors
Should not normally exceed three typewritten pages and include not more than one table or figure, nor more than five authors.
Manuscript Format
Title
In addition to the full title, authors should provide a short version (running head), not more than 50 characters long, including spaces.
Authorship Details
Authorship implies a substantial contribution to concept and design, analysis and/or interpretation of data; critical writing or revising the intellectual content; and final approval of the version to be published. A maximum of eight authors can be listed under the title for an original article. Should it be necessary to list more names, the editors require that an Addendum be included in the manuscript where the role of each author in the study is specified. The Addendum should be placed at the end of the Discussion or Conclusion section, before the Acknowledgements. Give names as initial(s) only followed by surnames, which should be clearly linked to the respective addresses, if more than one, by use of the following symbols: * §, which, for more than six addresses, may be doubled as follows: ** , etc. Contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship and their respective contributions should be listed, with their permission, in 'Acknowledgements' or an appendix. Technical assistance should be acknowledged in a separate paragraph.
Summary
Original articles should have a structured abstract of 250 words or less including the following headings: Background, Objectives, Patients/Methods, Results and Conclusions.
Keywords
Provide no more than six keywords in alphabetical order following the Summary.
Main Text
Give generic names of drugs. Full names of substances with abbreviations must be given at first mention; thereafter, use the abbreviation. Symbols should be inserted as per the instructions on the submission site.
Headings
Only three levels of headings are used in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses (the third being a run-on heading, where the text follows on the same line). Work must be rewritten if any part of it contains more than three types of heading in succession.
References
Only papers closely related to the author's work should be referenced; exhaustive lists should be avoided. Verify all references for completeness and accuracy, and format references as a plain, unstructured list. References are Vancouver style, with numbers in square brackets [1], [3-5] in the text and a numbered list, with up to six authors included in each reference, at the end. For references with more than six authors, the first three should be listed, followed by et al. References to personal communications, unpublished data, and manuscripts either 'in preparation' or 'submitted for publication' should be inserted, if essential, in the text only and not listed in the references. They should include authors' names, principal institution and city. Examples of correct forms of references are given below.

Publications 'in press' should be updated as soon as possible. For further examples, see the 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals' at http://www.icmje.org/index.html.
Tables. There should be as few tables as possible, containing only essential data. Verify information for accuracy and consistency with the manuscript's text. Each table should be given an Arabic number. The title (legend) of the table should contain only minimal text. Any other information, such as definitions of abbreviations, probability statistics, etc., should be in the table footnote; if symbols are necessary, they should be the same as given for the authors' details above. Headings and columns should be laid out clearly; avoid use of sub-headings. Avoid wordy, over-full tables. Any blank cells should have a dash.
Illustrations
A legend should be provided for each illustration. Photomicrographs should state the original magnification. Legends should provide sufficient information to allow the reader comprehension without reference to the text, and should be grouped at the end of the manuscript. Illustrations should be referred to in the text as 'Figs' and be given Arabic numbers. The final width of the figures will be either 82, 114 or 173 mm. Lines should be of sufficient thickness to stand reduction (no less than 4 mm wide for a 50% reduction), and letters should be a minimum of 9 pt Arial or an equivalent size. For details of Blackwell Publishing's electronic artwork standards, please go to http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp.
Electronic Artwork
If submitting final artwork electronically, please read the information at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp . Vector graphics (e.g., line artwork) should be saved in Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS) and bitmap files (e.g. photographs) should be saved in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). Line art must be scanned at a minimum of 800 dpi; photographs at a minimum of 300 dpi.
Proofs
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
Author Services
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
Early View
Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses is covered by Blackwell Publishing's OnlineEarly service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
Offprints
Authors will be provided with electronic offprints of their paper. Paper offprints may be ordered at prices quoted on the order form, which accompanies proofs, provided that the form is returned with the proofs. The cost is more if the order form arrives too late for the main print run. Offprints are normally dispatched within three weeks of publication of the issue in which the paper appears. Please contact the folowing if offprints do not arrive: C.O.S. Printers Pte Ltd., 9 Kian Teck Crescent, Singapore 628875; Fax: +65 6265 9074; Email: offprint@cosprinters.com. However, please note that offprints are sent by surface mail, so overseas orders may take up to six weeks to arrive. Electronic offprints are sent to the first author at his or her first email address on the title page of the paper, unless advised otherwise; therefore please ensure that the name, address and email of the receiving author are clearly indicated on the manuscript title page if he or she is not the first author of the paper.
Author Material Archive Policy
Please note that unless specifically requested, Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible.
